Thanks for the reply. This clarifies things a bit.
Reading the wiki:
http://pong.tamu.edu/tiki/tiki-view_blog_post.php?blogId=6&postId=97
which has me working from the repository for numpy and
scipy what is the correct way to reflect updates as they occur?
ie.
cd numpy
svn up
python setup.py clean --all
python setup.py install
#It seems to me in order to get this stuff totally removed
#from my python libraries I actually need to
#remove /lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy in order
#to eliminate any version of previously installed stuff
Sincerely,
Nicholas
